Dead baby found

Police have arrested a woman after the body of a baby was found in a riser at a block in Jurong West on Friday. The body of the infant, said to be less than one year old, was found in a recyling bag in the riser outside a five-room flat on the 12th floor of Block 678D Jurong West Street 64. Police were alerted to the case at about 2.25pm on Friday. Two technicians who were at the block to read the electricity meter stumbled on the body when they found the door of the riser sealed with a masking tape. Inside was a green recycling bag that stinks. They did not look inside but felt uneasy, and one of them immediately called the police. A 24-year-old woman, believed to be the baby's mother, was arrested.
